Russia, China to expand oil and gas trade
Russia currently delivers gas to China through the Power of Siberia pipeline and plans to build a second supply link along the same route no later than in 2027. It has, for years, been trying to sign a third gas contract with China, which would pave the way for a third pipeline via a different route via Mongolia. If all three lines operate as planned, Russia's gas flows to China could reach nearly 100 billion cubic meters per year.
